India in West Indies, 2009

[naresh091]

Wow, this is like the very epitomy of the impatience of Indian supporters. It's ONE innings. ONE!. He's played TWO ODI's. TWO. Twenty20 and ODIs are NOT the same. You've made it pretty obvious that everytime he gets a score like this you'll say the same thing even if he ends his career with a batting average of 35+ in ODIs. I mean, I know you don't like him but there are 3 matches left and he hasn't even bowled yet. Some of the Jadeja hate is laughable with little or no base for their argument except two bad Twenty20 performances.

Really lol mate.I agree I dont like him much.But I did give credit to his selection a little bit earlier.

We should have gone for a batsman.I agree with the selection of Jadeja here.Atleast he'll be used as a key bowler here.But Yusuf isnt used much at all and his batting isnt reliable too.Badri should have got in easily.

Im not the guy who will call a guy crap for one loss or one bad innings.I dont see him that good to bat at 5 when there are more deserving people out there.As simple as that.Just ignore my posts if you dont like me posting anything against him.

I dunno why the hell Jadeja was playing in the first place. Bardinath should have played. We have more talented players in India than Ravindra Jadeja. I even rate Yusuf higher than him.

I don't know what to make of Jadeja, but you guys need to be more patient with Sharma.

He's one of the most talented players Indian have at the moment, and he's got all the shots in the book. He's also got a cool head as he showed in the IPL.

And, as one of the other posters, even Sachin, the greatest player of this generation, took 72 matches to get to a century...

Jadeja is there on potential, much like Rohit Sharma. He's a future pick, not a current pick, or so I think. He wouldn't be in the XI if Sehwag, Sachin and Raina were there. Dhoni knows a fair bit more than me about how to judge talent and it's obvious he sees something in him. I agree that at the moment, Yusuf Pathan is better but I have faith that Jadeja will come good.

Sorry if I seemed a little aggressive there, Naresh. I just get annoyed with the Jadeja hate seeing as it all stems from the T20WC which is very different from ODI cricket. I know he cannot hit out and that he cannot slog. The problem today, was not in his ability, it was in the position that he was playing in the batting line up. He should be moved up the order seeing as he isn't capable of batting with a very high strike rate.

Iam a bit disappointed with Nehra being picked on the basis of a couple of T20 performances. I look at his selection as a backward step. I can see a Gayle storm here.

i am not even joking right now, but some on HAS to HAS to do this kool butt overlays!! man its soo awsum!!

What an innings from Yuvraj!!! Truly spectacular stuff! He is in awesome form these days, which is great to watch!

WI need 91 off 64 balls right now with the danger guys gone. India look favorites to win this game easily now (Ramdin GONE now!!!). We have done well in this game and deserve to win it. As far as Jadeja, give him some time. He is a very useful ODI player and will work for us in ODI's. Dhoni's 41 off 46 balls looks really good in an ODI. The same in a T20, and he will get smacked in the media. KKD scores a fifty? I guess Rohit (cricketman) should be dancing wildly today I wish Badri was playing today. Hope to see him in a few games in this tournament. As naresh said, "give him a chance to fail"

Well done India for throwing it away.

 

[AbBh]

What are they doing? They seem to be intent on losing the game.

 

[Leggie]

What a brilliant start to the over from RP Singh. 2 wides. Brilliant.

 

[SaiSrini]

This game doesnt deserve this close ending.. It moved on at such a pace that it wasnt exciting at all at any stage.

India need to be blamed for bringing it this close (if they lose, they're crucified). Edit: RP, are you gifting the match on wides? DAMN! Today Harbhajan had a relatively off day and the game gets this close. Nehra provided enough backup for Zaheer though not equally good. Ishant continues to fail

Keep Baker on strike for the final 2 deliveries.

This is a freaggin disaster

 

[Leggie]

Brrrruuuuahhh. We won. But it was too close.

Chak De Patte! :banana2 India win. West Indies have a habit throwing the game away.
